John Waters made his name as a successful columnist for the mainstream liberal-left Irish Times newspaper.  His experience with family law contributed to a complete reassessment his own views and values, which underwent a profound transformation.  He became disenchanted with the left, and then (for similar reasons) equally disillusioned with the professional, establishment right.  The autobiographical passages in this review are not incidental. They demonstrate how current cultural and political trends, such as those described in my book, have altered the thinking habits of educated people, including our few real intellectuals.  I could have written a similar account myself, and I know others — raised on liberal-left orthodoxy and habituated to it by default — who have experienced similar awakenings when they come to realize where the destructive logic of leftist ideology is taking us. While different experiences can prompt this awakening, first-hand exposure to the consequences of sexual ideology, and above all the injustices of family law, as Waters describes it, is undoubtedly the big “trigger”.

You might note too the quality of the prose in this review. I urge you to read the recent writings on his Substack. In fact I received so many new subscribers as a result of this review that I should say “Welcome” to new readers coming from there.
